Lil’ Sharpay for Lil’Lohan: Speaking of a bunch of wild kids singing and dancing at a moment’s notice, it appears Ali Lohan is hoping to land the part of a spoiled princess in the upcoming “High School Musical 3,” E! Online reports. Lindsay’s little sister’s rep confirmed she is auditioning for the role of a Sharpay-in-training. Could this mean a diva dual between Ali Lohan’s character and Ashley Tisdale’s Sharpay? We can hear the day-glow painted nails being sharpened at this very moment!
Kisses From Britney: In other diva news, Britney Spears was not surprisingly absent from this year’s Grammy Awards, but the recently hospitalized pop star was spotted rehearsing over the weekend at the Millennium Dance Studio in North Hollywood, Us Magazine reports. When photographers asked Brit if she would be attending the award show, Brit said, “Kiss my a–!” We never tire of Brit’s poetic musings— did we mention she said it in a British accent?
Brit’s Manager Crawls Out Hiding: The man many say is responsible for Britney’s troubles, Sam Lutfi, surfaced over the weekend at Paris Hilton’s birthday, E! Online reports. Sam said he’s not in contact with Brit. Sam might not be talking to her, but he, Paris and Brit-pal Alli Sims did raise a toast in Brit’s honor, a source tells E!. No word what faux accent the trio used.
Obama, Grammy Winner: Regardless of the outcome of the Democratic presidential primaries, Barack Obama will always have a Grammy Award. The White House hopeful beat out Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, Maya Angelou, and Alan Alda in the spoken word category. But the Illinois senator shouldn’t let this award go to his head; Hillary won the award 12 years ago, the Los Angeles Times reports, and her husband and former President Bill Clinton has won two Grammys in the same category. No word on where Obama will keep his trophy, but it might look nice in an oval-shaped office.
